Should we list ratware?
by Chris Santerre 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

MailinglistMaster.com They produce StealthMail Master 5.0, rateware. "The anonymous bulk email software you need to protect your connection from being shut down when you send out bulk email. With this new technology your ISP will not have a problem with your bulk e-mail operation. It uses special proxies for anonymity. Reliable proxy service comes with the software. Proxies are updated daily. We update our proxies several times a day. The program gets its speed from up to 300 concurrent connections to different proxy servers. We carefully select the proxies we add to our database.Instant and very accurate delivery rate is assessed by the program. This is the most reliable proxy mailer out there. It is sold on a membership basis. You can purchase either a monthly or a lifetime membership." --Chris

Computer being repaired
by SURBL 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

Hi all, Please note that I may not be able to respond as quickly as I'd like for a day or so since I need to repair my main computer. This is only referring to my personal mail. SURBL stuff should run just fine, as usual. (Chris S., my PC locked up in JO. Now the video BIOS won't even come up.... :-( Power supply measures ok with no load, so maybe the motherboard is hosed. Might be the power supply though.) Jeff C.

We should not let that happen. As far as I'm concerned our >biggest challenge is reducing FPs. We're already doing a good >job of catching spam. I agree with Jeff. The ONLY list that is getting grey domains added is the UC list. Which is NOT an official SURL.org list. And it isn't ready for prime time yet. Lowering the FP rate in WS is the first and foremost goal for many contributors. WS will be as close to zero FP as we can humanly get. --Chris

Re: [SURBL-Announce] SURBL stats: list hit rates measured in DNS
by Jose Marcio Martins da Cruz 14 Nov '04

Jeff, You'll find some stats from our mail server at : http://j-chkmail.ensmp.fr/urlbl/urlbl.txt Some words about it : - When a list get a hit, it stops searching other lists. - The first list checked is the our one. surbl lists are checked just after our one, in alphabetical order. This means : j-chkmail ab.surbl.org ... So, our stats doesn't show all lists, but if this interests you, I can easily adapt our stats scripts to get hits for all lists. Either way, this shows that most spam detection using SURBL, at our domain, comes from ab and multi. This conclusion is mitigated by : - many entries from our list (j-chkmail) may exist on ob/sc or ws. - our list (j-chkmail) isn't being updated too frequently, because as I said you before, I add entries only when they aren't yet at surbl lists and surbl lists are being updated very fast...
